SEARCH FOR OIL AND GAS Millions of years before the advent of Man in what is today the geological confines of an area of the State of Utah defined as North Sevier and South Sanpete Counties, and the area which includes Salina, Aurora, Gunnison, Axtell, Mayfield, Sigurd, Salina Canyon, Sterling, Fayette and other communities, Old Mother Nature began to write the record of Her prehistoric creative and destructive genius. Not pn graven tablet, D. r. Mother Natures Creative Ability In Prehistoric Geological Times Old s; or on written or printed page did the Old Dame leave this indelible record here for Man of today to decipher, but instead, she has left this record in the form of uplifts represented in the nearby mountains, in sedimentary deposits of prehistoric Lake Uinta, and in rocks which, together with fossil remains of long vanished animal, plant and reptilian life, defy the imagination of the most vivid as to their estimated geologic antiquity. In the fossil remains of long vanished marine (sea) plant $nd animal life found in the Salina and Gunnison areas, we see the evidence which tells us of today of early Paleozoic geologic times, when the waters of a vast inland sea innundated this area of present day Southern Utah. In the petrified wood found in Salina Canyon and other areas of both Sevier and Sanpete Counties, we see further evidence of the dim past, and these woods tell us of the Mesozoic beologic era when tropical plant life flourished here. In these, and in many other ways has the Old Dame left the record of Her works for Man of today to decipher, and Man in the dual role of the petroleum geologist and the vertebrate Steve Bellon and Beryl Mullins of Roosevelt, visited Monday and Tuesday with their grandmother, Mrs. Bena Allred. While here, they were house guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vivian Burns. UNEARTHS RECORD One of the principal mediums which have unearthed this record of prehistoric geologic times, is past and present searches for oil and rocks in various areas of North Sevier and South Sanpete Counties. Through the agency of field geophysics (seismograph) field exploration in searches for oil and rocks in this area of Utah, has been learned what the surface looks like, and its sub surface condition from the viewpoint of structure, several thousand feet beneath the surface. It has been accurately determined where limestone, sandstone, shale, dolomite and other strata life, their depths and estimated thickness and porosity. The rocks would of course be such as limestones, sandstones, shale and dolomites, some intermingled with gypsum. THREE MAJOR PERIODS ARE REPRESENTED There are three (3) major periods of the prehistoric geologic record recognized in the rocks, sedimentary deposits, fossil remains etc., found in Sevier n and Sanpete Counties area) and there are as follows: (a) Archean-Paleo- zoic; (b) Mesozoic; (c) Cenozoic. These three (3) periods are further into periods which are a part of the major systems represented, each having its own contemperaneous forms of animal and plant life, some of the marine or sea types. NOTE: In the next article of this series, appearing as an exclusive feature in these newspapers, the writer will discuss the geologic periods represented in the Salina, Gunnison and other areas of Sevier and Sanpete Counties. gas-beari- g (Salina-Gunniso- sub-divid- The April meeting of the Pahvant chapter, Daughters of the Pioneers, will be held in the chapter house on April 29th.
